Rise up

Peaceful water’s edge,
creeping towards the morning—
winter sun blushes.

Weed

Boomers of gardens;
weeds of all shapes and sizes—
there’s not mushroom left.

Cheers

Frosty winter night,
silent fire smoking within—
strangers at the pub.

Braveheart

Face up to the sky—
brave the chilly wintry breeze,
spring is on its way.

Season’s changing

Late-winter blue skies,
naked limbs are sunbathing,
soon there’ll be flowers.
